Chancellor urged to reveal tax plans

The Sunday Times’ James Coney calls on Rishi Sunak to reveal his intentions in regard to taxes, saying it is time people were given “some clue” on how the Chancellor expects the country to cover the cost of the coronavirus outbreak. He notes Institute for Fiscal Studies analysis suggesting that the Government will need to raise £40bn a year to pay for the pandemic and says that while an Ipsos Mori poll found that most people are happy with tax rises, “you can’t really agree to something unless you know the specifics.”
